Wednesday's Web Wanderings

Tonight is the big night for the first ever Nashville NHL Tweetup and we are excited to be able to participate with a special edition POTG Radio live remote broadcast at the Nashville NHL Tweetup at The Closing Bell Wall Street Pub from 7-8 central. This will be our first ever venture from the living room out into public to do the show.

We expect to be able to talk with several folks during our time there and it should be an interesting hour. Anyone who has something they want to say, please come see us. And for those who don't want to go on live, please introduce yourselves. We would like to meet as many folks in person as possible.

In other news of the day, the Predators missing out on the playoffs has opened numerous opportunities for players to go to the World Championships next week in Europe. Barry Trotz, Shea Weber and Dan Hamhuis had been announced previously as members of Team Canada. Word is filtering out that Ryan Suter will play for Team USA and that Pekka Rinne and Ville Koistinen will also play for their homelands too.

Another indication that Tuesday was a slow news day was the amount of press dedicated to the resigning of Hugh Jessiman who played some with the Rangers in the past and is currently chasing the Calder Cup in Milwaukee.

Mark at TheViewFrom111 had some interesting awards to give out based on the past season. Check it out here.

Mysteriously, overnight the new HockeyBuzz/Versus page appeared with a lot of our Facebook and Twitter buddies having their names in big bold type right on the front. Congrats to Eklund and his long list of writers for seeing their hard work pay off. Versus finally has a reason for someone to look at their site.

In the shamless self promotion category, our main man, Sports Editor Marion Wilhoite at the Columbia Daily Herald ran two of our stories (one, two) on the same day today and had four hockey stories altogether to kick off the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Who would know that Columbia, Tennessee would become such a hotbed of hockey news! Even if you aren't a regular Herald reader, email Marion to thank him for his PredsOnTheGlass hockey coverage.

That's it for now. More later as we move toward tonight's Tweetup event.

Here's a breaking story from the Twitterverse "RT @umassdilo Welcome NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman to Twitter! @Commish_Gary. He'll throw out the ceremonial 1st Tweet at 7 p.m #NHLTweetup" It will be interesting to see if this is a one time thing or if he will try to connect with fans. I'll reserve comments for now. At least he's taking a whack at it.
